Her Change

Dante

3rd person

Soulmates don't just have to be two lovers. They can also be twins. Two siblings that have an emotional bond stronger than any marital bond and in this case Dante and Cianna were the living proof of this. They shared every secret from little things such as crushes to big things such as who broke mom's vase. It was always tough to try to get any secrets out of them. They would rather take it with them to their graves than tell someone. However, like most things they drifted apart. Two halves were slowly torn away. If you truly asked, "how, how did they become like this?" Well, the truth would be that the two youngest siblings, loved the most by their parents and constantly babied, just couldn't handle their parents' death and couldn't see each other as they slowly lost a part of themselves. The thought of their twin seeing them as they constantly drowned in their sorrows was more suffocating than the fact that they were now orphans. They wouldn't come home to their mother shouting and swearing at their older brother, chasing them with her shoes or the classic wooden spoon. Or going to their dad's office and pranking his employers. Though they did get in trouble they also got out of it using their puppy eyes. All this was now just a memory that wouldn't happen again. All they could do was drown in grief as the past memories came to haunt them in their sleep. 

For Dante, Cianna was the frosting to her cake without each other they would be just incomplete. Her existence to him couldn't be explained in words and as they were torn apart they did their best to act normal and even if they now hid their secrets and pain from each other they still went on their monthly twin days. For both of them, those days were the main reason they kept going. Those goofy things they did together gave each of them some fresh air. It was their monthly dose of oxygen as they slowly drowned in the solution of pain and suffering. It was like their present they got for surviving another month of mental torture. It was a blessing. 

Dear Dante,

My other piece. My twin. Each day I spent with you having fun was truly a blessing for me. You made me feel normal those days. I am the least reluctant to leave you. You always tried so hard to get over your grief so you could help me with mine but I guess destiny had a different route for us. I hope I can meet you again and I promise when I find my smile again I'll come for you as soon as possible. I cannot live without you so you better take care of yourself okay otherwise I'll post all the embarrassing pictures I took of you online. Look out for parcels cause you'll be getting a lot of those from now on. I know to you my running away is very selfish. How could I leave without you. I couldn't leave without you but I knew I couldn't be selfish and take you away from your friends and it would be too much of a burden on you.

But I hope you know that I'll always love you and I'll always be there for you if you look carefully I'll always be watching over you. Don't take the last sentence in some wrong way. I'm not into stalking it's too time-consuming for me.

Love your beautiful and favorite sister Cianna.
